The new Foundation Certificate in Applied Permaculture Design is an ideal next step in your permaculture training following a PDC. Issued by the Permaculture Association of Britain as part of their internationally recognised Permaculture Diploma programme, it can be taken either on a standalone basis or as a stepping stone towards the full diploma. The Foundation Certificate involves completing two original designs of your own choosing, assessed by a registered diploma tutor.
This new residential training supports this through classes in design theory and technique, direct guidance and feedback on your designs from diploma tutor Tom Henfrey, peer support from other design apprentices attending the course, and remote follow-up tutorials for completion and final assessment of your designs, along with immersion in community life at a working permaculture farm.
Once you have completed your Foundation Certificate, you have the option of continuing to the Diploma in Advanced Permaculture Design. This requires presentation of a further eight assessed designs, normally over the course of around two years of self-directed work and with the support of any available tutor of your choice.
